The scientific method

The scientific method has multiple steps. It is used to prove a question or observation

Step one- Find a problem that you have or an observation.

Step two- Make a hypothesis about what you think will happen.( A hypothesis is an idea of what you think happens or happened. Example we can use an hypothesis to guess what happened to dinosaurs)

Step three- Create an experiment. Develop a experiment that will prove your hypothesis wrong or right.

Step four-  Perform the experiment. Once you develop an experiment get all the supplies you need and see what happens. Be sure to note what happens.

Step five- Analyze the data, record the results of what happened and check if your hypothesis was right or wrong. If your hypothesis was wrong, that is okay since it happens a lot in the scientific method. If your data was inaccurate you can modify the experiment.

Step six-Last but not least you communicate the results. Write a conclusion about important parts in the experiment and results.

Cells

 

Cells are the building blocks of life. Humans have trillions of cells in their body. Cells may be small but that doesn't mean they don't have different parts. Cells are like factories with each part having an important job. A flexible cell membrane forms the outer layer of the cell and it decides what gets in the cell and what stays out. The nucleus is the command center or the boss that instructs all the other parts of the cell on what to do.The nucleus tells other cell parts what to do. The nucleus is guided by DNA which contains your body's instructions for life. Inside the cell membrane is a mixture of chemicals and water that is called cytoplasm. Cytoplasm flows around the cell carrying structures called organelles. The organelles are listed below.

Mitochondria break down food and release energy.

Lysosomes break down food, cell waste and worn out cell parts.

The endoplasmic reticulum is that ribbony looking thing. there are two types the smooth ER and the rough ER. The smooth ER is used to create and store large molecules. The rough ER is studded with smaller strucutres called Ribosomes.

Ribosomes are responsible for making proteins, which cells need for everything they do like a power plant.

Golgi bodies pack up proteins to be sent to the body like a delivery truck.
